How do you unlock the Motorcycle Boy?

[AegisNeglector]

There is a WORLD of difference between saying (for example), "I see Q raping all the time," and saying, "I see Kuroda's Q raping all the time." Just because you see one particular player's low-tier character winning a lot doesn't mean you see that low-tier character winning a lot. There are always going to be exceptions to every rule, and players like Kuroda, RX, Sugiyama, Hayao, and KSK ARE those exceptions. Don't mix up your facts.

[AegisNeglector]

..., which is a huge freakin' deal. RX is the best Urien in the world, and good though he may be Shiroitachi is not the best Makoto in the world. There is just so much stuff that Makoto has that Urien (and below) simply cannot deal with well. This is true for ALL of the top-tier characters, which is why they're top-tier to begin with. I don't really understand your position. Either you don't really know that much about the game, or you simply like playing Devil's Advocate. Which is it???

[AegisNeglector]

Certainly not in the U.S. Furthermore, according to what you said, even Sean can be exceptional. That's...ridiculous. lol I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Sean can NEVER be exceptional. He was, literally, designed to be the antithesis of exceptional. Like E.Philosophy said, when you've got a situation where two players are of the same caliber the one using the higher tier is generally always the victor. Last year, @ SBO, Shiroitachi's Makoto beat RX's Urien pretty hands down...

[AegisNeglector]

Regardless of whether or not Hugo inflicts big damage, he's still low tier. Sure, he dishes out damage really well, but he hardly ever gets the opportunities needed to inflict said damage, especially against, characters like Chun, Ken, & Makoto. Most of the cast can keep him at bay with any kind of good spacing tool (i.e., air fireball, anti-air fireball, long-range pokes, etc.). Also, where outside of PinoAB7 and Sugiyama do you see Necro raping?! Umm...nowhere.

[EnigmaticPhilosophy]

Hugo naturally has a lot of moves that are punishable, what with him being a big slow grappler. He's not that slow, but you still have to use his moves wisely.

I've also heard that Necro is pretty low on the list, too. I haven't seen too many Necro fights, so I couldn't tell you for certain.

But these are just a few examples. There are many other things about 3S that show just how far away the tiers are from each other.

[EnigmaticPhilosophy]

Twelve's options are also really limited - not many opportunities for combos or even high damage, he's mostly limited to building meter/hit-&-run. Plus, a lot of his moves are too weak, not very useful, and are easily punishable. Pit a pro-level Twelve vs. a pro-level Elena for example, and you'll see what I mean.

[EnigmaticPhilosophy]

Remy has low defense/offense, so a BIG part of his gameplay involves spamming high & low LOVs to trip up enemies. Remy just cannot combo/rush down unless there's a big opening in the opponent's defense, or if the opponent is in the corner.

Q is really only good on defense and on the counterattack, while Sean is bottom-tier in 3S as he was totally nerfed from Double Impact.

[EnigmaticPhilosophy]

Third Strike is unbalanced only because the characters themselves are poorly balanced. Granted, skill level will always be more important than tiers, but when you play the game for a while, you begin to notice things.

Example: look at why the top-tiers in Third Strike are at the top - insanely high priority on their normals, REALLY long chain combos, and ridiculously powerful super moves.

A lot of the other characters are hard pressed to match that.

[EnigmaticPhilosophy]

Oh yeah, SF3: Third Strike is also pretty unbalanced. But on the plus side, the game engine is actually pretty tactical (what with the slow pace, focus on mind-games and parrying), which really forces you to sharpen your overall skill. And I'm a Remy user, so yeah.
